Dana White’s Contender Series standout Diyar Nurgozhay missed weight by five pounds ahead of his Octagon debut at on Saturday.
After landing an impressive head-kick KO against Bartosz Szewczyk on an October 2024 episode of DWCS, all eyes were going to be on the undefeated (10-0) Nurgozhay who was set to face Brendson Ribeiro in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, Nurgozhay has already found himself in a heap of hot water after stepping on the scale Friday morning and weighing in at 210.5 pounds — a full four pounds over the non-title light heavyweight limit.
